The big controversy surrounding the comedian’s scrappy self-funded web series has to do with its finances. Horace and Pete had a $4.5 million spending budget. In an interview with Howard Stern, C.K. revealed that he originally intended to spend $2 million of his own money — $500,000 per episode for the show’s first four episodes — leaving him with “no cushion in life.” Because of C.K.’s joke that the series left him millions of dollars in debt, the story surrounding the series has been one of scrappy aspirations and critical acclaim ending in dark, financial failure. However, that’s not exactly the case.

“I made it all back with people buying it.,” C.K. told Nussbaum. “It made back everything, and it’s going on a service, a thing.”

“What does that mean?” she asked.

“It’s one of those things that’s gonna happen soon. It’s one of those services. It’s Hulu,” he said, before adding, “I have no idea if I have the right to say that.” The audience burst out laughing.

So yes, you’ll finally be able to stream this critically praised show in a cheap and legal way, but when that will happen is another question entirely. Here’s hoping Horace and Pete will be on Hulu by November.
